Panel - Engineering natural gas for AI‑scale data centers: From fast ramping to futureproofing
Natural gas has become the near‑term technology of choice to meet surging data‑center power needs, with operators turning to behind‑the‑meter turbines and engines to secure firm capacity quickly. Yet designing and operating gas plants for AI‑driven loads is complex - ramp control, part‑load efficiency, and reliability are non‑trivia, and the race to power has too often overlooked optimization.
